Team's actually looking like they can compete on a nightly basis. No gaping holes at any spot in the lineup. I once again have the ability, on...
Keith Law:
Made a combined TV schedule between Root Sports and MLB Network. Looks like we'll have 4 live games on Root and 4 tape delayed games on MLB...
Supply and Demand. Even in hopeless years, Opening Day always draws a crowd at or very near to capacity. For a lot of people it may be the only...
I think BA is a bit of an outlier this year. Law had us number 3 and called us "still strong but a bit weaker" than last year. John Sickels:...
May have some more pop? Valbuena 16 HR, .435 SLG Margo 6 HR, .400 SLG
Y'all seem to think I'm arguing for a Cueto trade. I'm not interested in any serious trade for a 1 year rental at this stage. I was more...
Justin Upton is coming off a solid year where he put up an .833 OPS , 3.3 WAR and finished 17th in MVP voting. He makes $14.5M Johnny Cueto is...

Question begging galore: When have we ever been viewed as a marquee FA destination? How does making the highest offer indicate we weren't...
If player agents hate one thing on earth, it's money. They're all about principle. Fancy cars, private jets, and designer clothes all take a...
According to Miller, it came down to more than money. For whatever it's worth, he was at least complimentary of the Astros:
We made the higher offer. 4/40. He chose NYY. Can't force players to come here.
Hah, y'all aren't even talking about the same player. Seal's talking about Carter and Stu responds with Altuve.
